A service station merchandising contest in 1955 was sponsored by the B.F. Goodrich company. Six cream, blue and red CJ-5s were given away as prizes. The article was published in the May 1955 issue of Willys News.

This February1961 mailing brochure marked Form No. DM61-02 highlights the advantages of a jeep. This particular brochure has some wear and a stain, so isn’t an ideal example.

If folded, this was the 8.5″ by 5.5″ front page:

And this the back:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Curious that the pneumatic jeeps had the tool indents on the passenger side. I believe this photo has been reproduced backward. You can see an example of how it appeared in print in the St. Petersburg Times.

“1945 Press Photo The pneumatic jeep, used as decoy during war”

In some cases jeeps were put inside dummy tanks. Here’s a great photo showing a ‘tank’ being dropped onto a jeep.

This is another of a series of Ford GP photos from Lake Geneva.

“You are bidding on an original press photo of WWII Jeep Hauling Hay Trailer Lake Geneva WI Farm. Photo measures 7 x 9 inches and is dated 1/20/1944.”

The engine and rear axles has been swapped (at the very least).

“1943 Willys – Overland Military Jeep…. This is a project vehicle… Jeep was found under a house, mummified…. Been there since 1968… Had to drag it out… Power train frozen… 4 cyl military motor had been swapped out with a 6 cyl Studebaker somewhere in the early 50’s…. That’s all the old gal could remember…. She said it was running when it went into it’s grave… Some parts are off motor, starter, generator… Does/did it run… No Idea… A family member started to get it running… Pulled tranny & transfer case… Found broken gears in tranny… Bought new,,, Included… Then started on transfer case… found reason for locked power train…. transfer case completely rusted solid… and so ended the repairs to the Jeep…. Have some manuals… included…Tub is in great shape…. No Rust… most all parts from original Military configuration seem to be there…. but you need to see and make up your own mind… This baby needs some TLC…. Jeep does roll but must have all wheels off ground to transport…”

This might beworth a look. Motor isn’t stock.

Brady Leetch shared his recent build. It’s got a great flat fender / scrambler feel to it. The snow is a nice touch, too. You might remember one of Brady’s other builds, this blue low-rider jeep.

Joe, a self-describedeWillys addict (aka – Joe in Mesa), createdthis post about the reasons why some jeeps never seem to sell.He’s organized the problems into four categories: seller issues, ad issues, buyer behavior, or the jeep itself.His examples reflect what I’ve experienced. No doubt there are more . . . Perhaps you’ll find this instructive or amusing. Thanks to Joe for assembling it.

SELLER ISSUES:

• Unrealistic seller (thinks jeep is worthy of Barrett-Jackson price).
• Reluctant seller (doesn’t really want to part with his/her “baby”).
• Seller won’t respond (doesn’t answer phone or email). Could be jaded from the SPAM attempts. Some people get slammed with email SPAM when posting to craigslist. Others have received telemarketers after posting their phone number.
• Email responses from buyers are going into seller’s junk mail. Dave hasrun into this problem when replying to a Craigslist ad usinga yahoo account.

AD ISSUES:

• Wrong contact info in ad (incorrect phone number or email address. Sometimes just a “type-O”).
• Misspelled “Willys” or other issue making ad hard to find (copy the spelling from your vehicle!). That’s why Dave uses a whole bunch of different spellings for “Willys” when searching Craigslist. He just got a great deal on a 25 pagebrochure off of eBay becausethe seller spelled misspelled the nameWYLLIS. Sometimes Willys nor Jeep is used in an ad. One alternative some sellers use is “flat fender” as in “Flat Fender for Sale”.
• Old ads, seldom updated. Only gets reposted with the same price, pics, and description every time. Buyers quickly tire of old ads.
• Poor pics or lack of pics in ad. Have great pics can really help. Conversely having poor or no pics will turn off many potential buyers,that sometimes no-pic ads are fantastic deals. But, you have to investigate a lot of bad ads to find a good deal.

BUYER BEHAVIOR:

• Not local to buyers: too far from the major metro area. Some folks don’t want to deal with an absent buyer. Some want the money quick and don’t trust paypal. Others don’t trust absent buyers.
• Particularbuyers. Many jeeps are worth the hard work but not everyone can afford the time it takes or don’t have the facilities torepaira mechanicallychallenging-jeep.
• Cheap local buyers (many people onlywant a deal, a “steal”, or a bargain).
• Scared, reluctant local buyers (see reasons for HARDER to sell, below)

JEEP ITSELF:

Technically the jeep itself should never be an issue that a low enough price can’t solve (a common example would be “no engine”: I bought one of those), but some jeeps are much HARDER to sell:

• – no title (in some states nearly impossible to resolve, and expensive in many others)
• – excessive rust
• – bad engine (cracked, seized, etc.. IMHO “no engine” jeeps sell better than “bad engine” ones).
• – horribly ugly (despite the current saying, there really isn’t a butt for EVERY seat)
• – similarly, “what the heck did Bubba do?… and why’d he do THAT?”
• – botched, incomplete “projects”
• – jeep covered by piles of misc. parts, furniture, dust, animal droppings, etc. (“barn find”? Really?)
• – jeep looks way better in the photos than in person.
• – seller places an ad without pics, but offers a description that doesn’t match with what a buyer finds when he or she sees the vehicle in person.
• – Bottom Line: insufficient value (cost too much to fix or restore… even if you gave it away for free)

Could there be other reasons? Poor economy (buyer issue), seller is a jerk, nearly impossible to move/get (tree growing up through frame, buried deep in a barn or basem*nt, holding up the corner of the structure, in window of Banana Republic mall store…)?

So, buying a jeep can be an adventure!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
